Abstract
The clinical spectrum of mitochondrial diseases has expanded dramatically i n the last decade. Abnormalities of mitochondrial function are now thought to participate in a number of common adult diseases, ranging from exercise intolerance to aging. This review outlines the common presentations of mito chondrial disease in ICUs and in the outpatient setting and discusses curre nt diagnostic and therapeutic options as they pertain to the pulmonary and critical-care physician.
